Microsorum thailandicum aka Blue Oil Fern

Blue Oil Fern’s native range is Temperate and Tropical Old World.

Blue Oil Fern should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Blue Oil Fern is very sensitive to dry soil. To ensure your Blue Oil Fern is thriving and blooming, choose a potting soil that retains moisture. A good soil should still allow for adequate drainage and contain lots of organic matter. Coco coir or sphagnum moss are great soil additives that will help to retain moisture and provide your Blue Oil Fern with the nutrients it needs for healthy growth. Make sure to mix these soil additives into the potting soil before planting and water the soil thoroughly. By providing your Blue Oil Fern with a well-draining, moisture-retaining soil, you can help to maximize its growth and keep it blooming.

Blue Oil Fern can survive in low light conditions, making them ideal for rooms that are far from windows or other light sources. However, for best results, place the plant less than 6 feet from a south-facing window to ensure it receives enough light.

The Blue Oil Fern should be repotted when it has doubled in size or annually, whichever comes first. Providing fresh potting soil with all the essential nutrients each year ensures the plant's well-being, eliminating the need for fertilizer. Remember, plants derive their energy from the sun and not fertilizer.
